I know what a lot of you are thinking. If only there was something like a rat, but that was about 30 times bigger. Well there is! The Capybara is the worlds largest rodent.  Living in South America, and always near water, the Capybara can be 5 feet long, 3 feet high, and can weigh in at 230 pounds.  Even more messed up is that these guys like to hang together. Sometimes they hang in groups of up to 100, although they are more likely to be found in a group of 20 or so. I guess these guys are kind of cute, if you can get past the rodent thing.
